Display location of the function in a BD as well as in FP in context help

[Mathan]

Most of the new LabVIEW users will start programming from the scratch. They really find very hard to understand from where did this particular object (function) came from. So if the location of it is displayed in the context help it will give a better way to easily find that object from the location.

Ex: "Create User Event" can be displayed in context help as below

Location: Programming->Dialog&User Interface->Events->

(or in a shorter form that everybody understands).

Sorry if this idea has been discussed before. Or its not at all needed. For a newbie this will help definitely.

 Mathan,

Right clicking on the object--->help-->find on functions palatte does this right?

Is your suggestion different?

[Mathan]

MUKS, Thanks for the comment. But i think this will take some time to load the help (especially for slower systems like mine), then click on Find on the functions palette, then it will take sometime again, so the user has to simply wait for a couple of time to do this for some other functions. Instead if in context help this is embedded, that will help them knowing the full structure of where exactly the function is residing.

and in the case of a user subVI it could show the path of the file

That can be helpful
